D. H. Thompson of 1520 Park ave nue..These charges are contained in an affidavit that Thompson made and which will be presented to the grand jury at the next meeting of that body. On the other hand Carey declares that Thompson, who is an old man, should be run out of town, declaring that he has given money to young girls and has come under the ban "of Miss Beatrice McCall, probation officer, for such . offenses. Carey says that he fears no investigation, but will produce testimony that will prove Thompson to be morally debased. The substance of Thompson's affida vit is that Carey has arrested him twice, treating . him brutally on both occasions, and , without reason. . Both charges against him were dismissed, he declares. On the occasion of the first arrest, he says, Carey seized him by the throat, kicked and struck him and maimed him- for life. This arrest, Thompson relates, f ollowsd his giving shelter to three women in Emeryville who had lived in the "Bucket of Blood" saloon and had been made destitute when that saloon was burned. . "I am prepared to go before the grand jury and show Thompson's char acter," Carey said today. "My first contact with him came as the result of a complaint made by Miss McCall that youngr girls should' be protected from him. She induced Judge Ogden to.sub pena him and I served the subpena. From that time he began to vilify, abuse and threaten me, until I. arrested him. But I had the charge against him dismissed later, thinking that he had been punished enough and would behava himself. He did not, and two months ago I was called to the Vic toria hotel because some drunken peo ple were making a disturbance and breaking furniture. I found them to be Thompson, another man and a woman, all of whom I placed under ar rest The other man and the woman were convicted, but, Thompson was re leased on their testimony. ; "He is notorious in Emeryville and should be run out of town."
